Friday Zing!

• My yard has a very rare grass. I sure hope that someone doesn’t come by and cut it down. (Wink, wink.)

• Small town, are we? Proud of it, and may we never lose our appreciation of nature’s beauty and our disdain for those who destroy it.

• We’re inviting Gwen Graham to our family work day!

• Why is it that people who don’t want any trees buy the treed lots?

• Now that evangelicals have told Gov. Scott that climate change and the environment are real issues, he can skip the meeting with those pesky scientists.

• If you like Tallahassee without students, try Perry.

• A counterpoint to the Zing! regarding airstrikes can’t win wars: What about Hiroshima and Nagasaki?

• Gun buy back, what a dumb idea. Do you really think that the gang bangers are going to come in and sell their guns?

• Does the Mag Lab ever shut down for maintenance? We need some meaningful rain pretty bad on the north side.

• Props to former Seminole centerfielder Tyler Holt, who was just called up to the bigs in Cleveland. He made ESPN’s top plays two days in a row and is batting .444. Nice start.

• What a waste having to send me an Election Guide when I cannot vote in a primary election.

No, no! Many of the primaries are open to all voters, so dig out Thursday’s Voter’s Guide, study it and go vote. Email zing@tallahassee.com or write P.O. Box 990, Tallahassee, FL 32302. And be sure to check out the Zing! blog at Tallahassee.com or on Twitter at @zinginbox.
